A commission from Irish News in Belfast.
This was a commission from Jim Fitzpatrick of the Irish News in Belfast. He asked if I could complete a painting in oils of a scene from the Bible. The scene featured Jesus giving a Good Samaritan lady a drink from the well which would have been deemed unclean by his disciples.
After some research, I discovered this was the well where Jacob dreamt of angels ascending and descending the Golden Staircase where God finally appeared to him.
Using the concept of the divine trinity, I constructed the painting using a spiral or DNA style composition where Jesus as God and Jesus as the son of God appear to mankind at the same location in two different generations therefore displaying the eternal nature of the divine.
